Orifice restricted flow

A full opening valve or variable orifice should be able to restrict flows of liquid into the bottom of the reboUer so that the instability in the liquid in the column will not be direcdy introduced into the inlet of the reboUer. Generally, the liquid inlet nozzle size should be about 50% in the inlet tube flow cross-section area. A large line is sometimes used, but a restricting provision should be provided to to stabilize operations. 

You may notice, when you measure AP, that it is a small value, difficult to measure accurately. This means that the orifice plate hole is oversized, and that the accuracy of the recorded flow on the control panel is also poor. Or, the measured AP is quite high. This means that a lot of pressure is being wasted, and the orifice plate hole is undersized and restricting flow. Furthermore, the recorded flow on the control panel may be off scale. 

In a V-cone meter, a cone is positioned in the center of a metering tube (Figure 3.100). This cone reduces the cross-sectional area available for the process flow and, much similar to an orifice restriction, generates a low-pressure region downstream of the flow element. The square root of the pressure difference is related to the flow through the meter.

The effect of different lubricant supply methods on hydrostatic bearing static stiffness is shown in Fig. 4. Hydrostatic bearing stiffness for constant pressure systems strongly depends on the type of flow restrictor (Bassani andPiccigallo 1992). The most popular flow restrictors are the capillary and oriflce types. An orifice restriction can provide a higher stiffness than a capillary restriction. The constant flow supply system gives a higher stiffness than the orifice restriction but requires expensive peripheral equipment such as a... 

A nearly infinite stiffness can be attained using controlled restrictors such as servo valves, diaphragms, or spool valves (Morsi 1969 Rowe 1969). However, these systems suffer from dynamic instability due to the resonance of control valve components. The orifice restriction and the constant flow supply system are also sensitive to lubricant viscosity change. When lubricant... 

Orifice piates are flat plates with holes that are typically smaller than the inside diameter of the pipe. The intent is to place the device between two flanges and restrict flow so that an artificial high- and low-pressure zone is created on each side of the orifice. A transmitter is used to calculate the differential and calculate a flow rate. The venturi flow nozzle uses the same principle as... 

Most CGA valves are provided with a restricted flow orifice (RFO). The restricted flow orifice is the most important contribution to silane safety. It will reduce an unrestricted orifice to a maximum orifice size ranging from 0.006 inches to 0.015 inches. It is desirable to limit the flow to 30 liters per minute. With silane, some process engineers argue that these orifices clog. At the 1990 Semiconductor Safety Association Conference, a semiconductor manufacturer indicated they recorded 1600 points without a single incident of clogging. The use of die restricted flow orifices with... 

The one recent improvement for handling of flammable gases is the restricted flow orifice. While this was originally designed for use with silane, it would lessen the fire hazard of any flammable gas. The restricted flow orifice is normally designed for 30 liters per minute but it is questionable how that number came about. If a hydrogen system uses 50 liters per minute, it certainly shouldn t be designed for 30 liters per minute. On the... 

Figure 2.5 shows a pipe with a flow restriction in the form of an orifice. The flow through the orifice is turbulent. The velocity will increase fi om point A to point B. 

The actual final pressures are all seen to be above the calculated values, and the amount of system hydrogen combusted is always less than the maximum amount possible. The main reason for this is that the gases in both tanks do not fidly mix and bum togeth. The orifice restricts the amount of jet gas that can flow into die receiver and bum there. 

Variable-Area Flow Meters. In variable-head flow meters, the pressure differential varies with flow rate across a constant restriction. In variable-area meters, the differential is maintained constant and the restriction area allowed to change in proportion to the flow rate. A variable-area meter is thus essentially a form of variable orifice. In its most common form, a variable-area meter consists of a tapered tube mounted vertically and containing a float that is free to move in the tube. When flow is introduced into the small diameter bottom end, the float rises to a point of dynamic equiHbrium at which the pressure differential across the float balances the weight of the float less its buoyancy. The shape and weight of the float, the relative diameters of tube and float, and the variation of the tube diameter with elevation all determine the performance characteristics of the meter for a specific set of fluid conditions. A ball float in a conical constant-taper glass tube is the most common design it is widely used in the measurement of low flow rates at essentially constant viscosity. The flow rate is normally deterrnined visually by float position relative to an etched scale on the side of the tube. Such a meter is simple and inexpensive but, with care in manufacture and caHbration, can provide rea dings accurate to within several percent of full-scale flow for either Hquid or gas. 

When fluid flows past objects or through orifices or similar restrictions, vortices may periodically be shed downstream. Objects such as smokestacks, chemical-processing columns, suspended pipehnes, and electrical transmission lines can be sul ected to damaging vibrations and forces due to the vortices, especially if the shedding frequency is close to a natural vibration frequency of the objecl. The shedding can also produce sound. See Krzywoblocki (Appl. Mech. Rev., 6, 39 397 [1953]) and Marris (J. Basic Eng., 86, 185-196 [1964]). 

Orifice Meter The most widely used flowmeter involves placing a fixed-area flow restriction (an orifice) in the pipe carrying the fliiid. This flow restriction causes a pressure drop that can be related to flow rate. The sharp-edge orifice is popular because of its simplicity, low cost, and the large amount of research data on its behavior. For the orifice meter, the flow rate for a liquid is given by... 

At design head, on the other hand, capacity does not change markedly with speed, so that once the design point has been passed the pump-turbine acts as a restriction in the hue. Since most or these units operate on a relatively fixed pressure differential, they then tend to act Eke an orifice to limit flow, and little or no benefit can be realized from any overcapacity in terms of fluid flow available to the unit in the actual iustaUatiou.
